A Straw Ride Extraordinary.
The boarders of the Averill Park Hotel at Sand Hill were treated to a straw ride Saturday evening. A large wagon, thirty feet long, was arranged, and, with a load of hay and straw placed upon it, it was ready to receive its precious load. Will Sliter, family driver of the tally-ho, with six good horses, came to the door at 7:30 o'clock, and the loading then began. A tackle and blocks had been arranged, and as each lady made her appearance she was gently and softly hoisted to the top of the load of hay. About thirty were thus raised, and the happy party was driven away amid shouting, singing and laughter, going at a good rate through the several streets, and then on to Glass Lake, Crooked Lake, stopping to call on the landlords of the several hotels. At Jim Clark's refreshments were handed the party from the second-story window. They returned about eleven o'clock, a tired but a very happy party.—Troy (N. Y.) Times.
